Lecithin is a mixture of phospholipids (PL) containing PC, PE, and PI, as well as sphingolipids, F FA, and glyco-lipids. Functional properties of Lecithin like Emulsifying, Solubilization,,Wetting/instantizing,Lubrication and Release,Crystallization Control ,Complexing, Antispatter,stabilizer in ice-creams and antioxidant in oils and fats; and the applications in bakery and

WONDER DRUG FAKE OR REALITY ?

1938: Di-ethyl stilbestrol (DES) was created. DES was the first synthetic estrogen ever synthesized; it was cheap to produce, more potent than natural estrogen, and could be taken orally. In the rush to make and market DES, Eli Lilly became one ofthe drug's major manufacturers. In America alone there were 267 drug companies that made and distributed DES and other similar synthetic estrogen because it was un-patented and easily produced.No controlled studies were ever conducted by the drug companies to determine the effectiveness or safety of DES for use during pregnancy, even after some scientists started questioning its efficacy in the 19505. As early as 1953, research revealed that DES did not work that DES actually brought about higher rates of premature birth and infant mortality yet DES continued to be prescribed to pregnant women for decades.
